Hi Russell King:

     Thank you for your explanations.
     Here I got an example, perhaps you can help me figure out if it is 
correct.

//allocate a cyclic transfer with 2 descriptors, a cookie identify 
current transfer.
desc = dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic(chan,
                                 sg_dma_address,
                                 sg_dma_len,
                                 sg_dma_len/2,
                                 DMA_DEV_TO_MEM);
cookie= dmaengine_submit(desc);

//if transfer in progress, state.residue is current transfer 
remain(sg_dma_len remain), not current descriptor remain(sg_dma_len/2 
remain).
device_tx_status(chan,cookie, &state);

     Is it right?

Best Regards
